The exclusive group of 20 up-and-coming producers selected for the 18th edition of EFP's networking platform PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE (May 19 – 23) has come together at the Cannes Film Festival. These most promising young producers from all over Europe are taking part in a tailor-made programme to exchange experiences and join forces for new trans-national co-productions. The programme also includes a case study for the film DIRECTIONS with director and producer Stephan Komandarev (PoM Bulgaria 2012) and producer Vladimir Anastasov (PoM FYRoM 2010). The Bulgarian-German-Macedonian co-production premieres in the UN CERTAIN REGARD section of the festival. Picking up important trends in the film industry the event also includes a session on content for virtual reality followed by a meeting with ARTE's Kay Meseberg (The Head of 360 /Virtual Reality).

Financial backing for PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE comes from Creative Europe – MEDIA Programme of the European Union and the respective EFP member countries.

Interviews with this year's PRODUCERS ON THE MOVE are published at EFP's media partners' websites: www.cineuropa.org, www.filmneweurope.com and in the Cannes edition of WORLD OF YOUNG CINEMA.
